Carter-Vickers was substituted at halftime, sparking fears of a potential injury setback for the player.
Carter-Vickers has had a challenging period with injuries, having been sidelined at the tail end of last season, necessitating surgery. His woes continued into the current season with another injury early on. The latest incident raises concerns that he could be facing yet another spell out of action.
Carter-Vickers was initially credited with scoring Celtic’s opening goal. However, it was later confirmed that Hyeongyu Oh had the final touch, thus being awarded the goal. While the team celebrated a robust win, the focus remains on the fitness of Carter-Vickers.
The American didn’t appear to join his teammates for the lap around the park after the match.
Celtic’s management and fans will be keenly awaiting updates on his condition, hoping that the substitution was a precautionary measure rather than an indication of a more serious issue.
